Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)
Tuskegee Institute was founded by Booker T. Washington. He also wrote the autobiography "Up From Slavery," detailing his life from being enslaved to becoming a prominent educator and leader in the African-American community.
He did not get rid of slavery--that happened after the Civil War. What he did do was overcome growing up in a sharecropping family to become a renowned researcher and teacher at Tuskegee.
In chapter 17 in Up from Slavery General Armstrong expressed a wish to visit Tuskegee six months prior to his death. The reason for his desired visit was to discuss how even the poor white men in the country had an obligation to fight for the rights of Negros.
